'It is right for me, as chief constable, to clearly state that institutional racism, sexism, misogyny and discrimination exist,' its chief constable, Iain Livingstone, told a meeting of the Scottish Police Authority that was livestreamed online on Thursday. Livingstone’s statement came midway through an independent inquiry into the death of Sheku Bayoh, a black man who died after being restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy in 2015.
